PAT MCMAHON PASSES ON
News came from Milwaukee Monday that Patrick J. McMahon had died at his home there. To the young people this probably meant little if anything as Mr. McMahon left Manitowoc in 1907 but to everyone who recalled county events prior to that time, the vision arose of an unusual personage known and liked by everybody.
P.J. McMahon was born and brought up in Meeme, this county. He was a farmer in early manhood and held town offices. He was 76 years of age. He was nominated to the Democratic ticket and elected to the office of Clerk of Circuit Court in 1898 and held the office for three successive terms. Five of Mr. McMahons six sons were at his bedside when the end came Monday, Dr. Joseph P., Atty Stephen J. of the United State Board of Tax Appeals, Edward M., second vice president of the Chase National Bank, N.Y., Dr. Francis B., Atty Omar T. Another son, Raymond is located in Kansas City. A daughter preceded him in death.
At Milwaukee, Mr. McMahon was engaged in life insurance work until failing health compelled him to relinquish this a few years ago. His first wife, Margaret Gray, died many years ago and his second wife, Johanna(sic) Shanahan, mother of Raymond died several years ago. He had a justifiable pride in his brilliant sons who have won distinction in medicine, law and banking. Politicians come and go but few leave any permanent impress. No one who met Mr. McMahon more than casually was likely to forget him. He was not of the back-slapping, exuberant type, straining to be a good fellow. He had intelligence, poise and dignity and he had that in definable something that makes an attractive personality. He had a penetrating Irish wit, but it carried no sting. It was a common saying that Pat could buy refreshments for a voter with an air of having a favor done for him instead of doing one. People who deemed themselves his friends were legion. He had character and native ability. The duties of his office were performed with ease and competency. In a big field, Mr. McMahon would have gone far in politics had he set himself to it, or any one of many another field as well. Not many of us pass on with expressions of regret so general as the death of P.J. McMahon evoked in Manitowoc County this week. The funeral was held Wednesday morning from St. John's Cathedral in Milwaukee. Interment was in Fairview Mausoleum.
